SY,
Zoophonics teaches phonics reading using their method, with animals and simple yet catchy phrases to help the kids to remember. IMHO, learing phonics is a good fundamental for kids at their developing age to prepare them for reading.
Whether it is interesting depends how the teacher delivers the method. Zoophonics has classes in Thomson, Bukit timah and Jurong West. Some of the mommies here, and myself are sending our kiddies to Jurong West.
hoho03,
Wah, pressure leh. Must keep an eye on Alicia to make sure she do not show bad examples in front of Phoebe..hahahaha..
Japancraze,
You are right, TLC.
Alicia was also delivered by Dr Eunice Chua.

Congratulations!!! What an experience! think my hubby will freak out or dun know how to handle if the situation happens to us.. Touchwood!!.. Haha
Hoho03, ya, if you dun see me this Sunday = pop liao..

japancraze,
P is only ok just for yesterday lei.. *touchwood*
could be she is not feeling very well, just went for her 18th mth jab on fri. the jab part is a bit swollen, erm think i pat her too hard, now like a bit blueblack
before chloe joined, she oso like that, walk up n down, behind the tables etc... give chloe more time.
after she found that nothing much for her to explore, she will sit down - we hope so
in fact i find chloe is improving!
at least, she can let go, without clinging on to u.
this shows that she is starting to reconginse the place. tts very impt!
if u can , should cont. to let chloe join the class.. ask ur hb lah, tell him A's dad is there. heehee
Hmm, maybe we should trick our hb that " oh teacher say this sunday class is for father, so only father is allow in the class!! "

My hb works shifts hence might need to work on weekends.. If you ask him to bring Chloe alone to the class (during my confinement), I forsee he will nag non-stop.. He keeps telling me Chloe is too young for enrichment classes etc.. Basically, he thinks I'm too KS liao.. Haha..Most likely, I'll enrol Chloe for the full term after my confinement.. Like what you've mentioned, It's cheaper to 'train' her in ZP. When she is more 'ready' as in can sit still then enrol her to other classes..
Alicia's Daddy,
Congratulaions to u & your wife! Your wife's birth story is really exciting! How is Alicia reacting to her little brother?
Hi all,
Finally went for the trial class y'day. So far so good, except that the timing is a bit 'bu san bu shi' and the session on the phonics is rather short.

Mommies,
Thanks for the well wishes.
hoho03,
Thanks for making the feedback.
I will bring Alicia to make up class on Friday.
You mean the teacher saw me and Alicia on Sunday? I was in NUH most of the time on Sunday, but Alicia was with nanny. Maybe she saw Alicia with Nanny's son. I actually thought of asking Nanny to bring her to class but decided not to trouble her too much. Afterall, I woke her up at 3+am to bring Alicia back.
Japancraze,
No chance to meet you in TMC liao. Adrian decided to arrive earlier, and at home somemore
Nac&Nic,
Aiya, no one around to film down the whole process. When I reported to Dr Chua after the paramedic arrived, she went "Oh dear, Oh dear..." hehehe, but she is very nice to follow up with us even we were sent to NUH.
Maple,
Alicia is very excited to see her di-di (last night). She took her pillow and gave it to her di-di.
Thanks for the well wishes.

Anyone switched from GUG to zoophonics? Any comments? My child seems to be bored with GUG already (have been with GUG for quite a while already), so thinking of switching him to another playgroup. Zoophonics seems tempting as they are teaching the same phonics methods. Any advice pl? Tks

Yes...I was from GUG gifted Tots and recently has been attending Zoo phonics school for 1 mth. I still prefer GUG.The presentation of Zoo Phonics program is much more interesting. However, my dd learnt more chinese in zoo phonics school
Hi gentledove,
Thanks. My son is also in Tots class currently. I'm also thinking of continuing another 1-2 terms then see how. He now knows the sequence of the alphabets but do not know how to blend the words. So give him time to learn first before I move him out.
Which zoophonics branch you attending? Thomson??

ya hsee, my boy is at GUG now. Stopping after this term cos moving him to daily montessori prog. Actually found one in gentle road using zoophonics, but location n timing not good lor. So choosing the one in sin ming. Ya most places using letterland. Very hard to find one using zoophonics. Actually Genevieve opposite united sq also using zoophonics, but their toddler prog must be accompanied, which I m not keen. Sigh, so difficult to find. Thanks.
ic, sally. yup, me did try to look for schools tat uses zoo phonics but with no success. went for a trial at Genevieve before but don't really like the place and program so din sign up.
u tried zoo-phonics school before? my dd is with them now n she really enjoyed the class. guess its osso she like her teacher. tink they hv playgroups too.

my personal feel tat GUG is more suitable when the child is >12mth as they are more mature in their motor skills
the art & craft tends to be very messy as they let the kid use paint but i think its good exposure as its something that i wont let my son do at home (at least for now lar)
i had my trial when my son was just 8mth and my assessment was the same as Fun - too chim and too complicated
but now that he is 14mth ... i think its just nice
